You finally found a time to “retreat.”
So, let’s make the most of it.
Now booking fall 2026 and winter 2027 team retreats and workshops.
In-person and virtual retreat options.
Step away from the day-to-day to get clear with your team.
Reflecting on this year?
Brainstorming for 2027?
Working through an important question?
Just need some uninterrupted time to regroup?
I'll design and guide a team retreat experience that's useful, energizing, and—dare we say it?—fun.
(And rest assured, no trust falls here.)
No need to draw straws for who has to lead this year’s retreat.
Everyone gets a seat at the table—and everyone gets to participate.
I’ll work with you to shape the agenda and design the experience your team needs.
Then, on retreat day, I’ll guide the conversation, watch the clock, and capture where you land.
And you get to be with your team—to think, talk, listen, laugh, and explore in new ways.
So everyone leaves feeling like the time you worked so hard to schedule was actually worth it.

Uncomplicated retreats—by design.
Your session shouldn't require six meetings just to plan. We’ll keep it simple with a three-step approach.
Before We Gather
We'll have a focused planning conversation about your team, the moment you're in, and what you'd like from your time together. I'll design the experience from there.
While We’re Together
I'll guide the session, keep us moving, make room for different perspectives, and adapt as the day unfolds—while everyone on your team gets to participate.
After We’ve Wrapped
You'll receive a concise recap of what surfaced, what your team decided, and where you're headed next.
Hi, I’m Lara Zuehlke…
Over the past 30 years, I’ve been on every side of the table.
As an award-winning writer and strategic communications leader, I've planned, led, facilitated, and participated in everything from agency client sessions and team planning days to C-suite workshops and leadership gatherings.
So I understand how to turn a few hours together into something meaningful.
I’ll bring the structure, thoughtful questions, outside perspective, and fresh energy.
Your team brings the wisdom and curiosity.
Together, we'll create a session that's productive, purposeful, joyful—and moves you forward.
See me in action.
Fake fall or not, 2027 will be here before we know it.
Let's make some room to think.
Zula is based in Austin and available for in-person sessions across Texas, including Austin, Dallas–Fort Worth, Houston, and San Antonio.
